By GlobalDataCommenting on the takeover, Hunt Capital CEO Chris Hunt said: “This acquisition was good for Hunt, as we and Peak 8 have similar investment styles and approaches to risk.
“This transaction further advances our long-term strategy of growing our fixed income and related businesses, particularly in the insurance space, a sector in which the Peak 8 professionals have deep experience.”
Investment professionals of the acquired entity will be retained.
This includes Peak 8 president David Moran.
“We think that Peak 8 will compliment Hunt’s existing asset management platform and that together we will utilise our shared resources and investment styles to grow both of our businesses,” Moran noted.
